Alžběta Franková Orden de los libros (cronológico)

Esta novela es la historia de una criada acusada de asesinato en el Londres del siglo XIX, pero es también la de todas las mujeres que, a lo largo de muchas generaciones, tuvieron que luchar por encontrar su propia voz en un mundo que no quería escucharlas. El extraordinario debut literario de Sarah Collins, galardonado con el prestigioso Premio Costa y alabado por autoras de la talla de Margaret Atwood, nos habla de una mujer que, teniéndolo todo en contra, decide tomar las riendas de su propia historia. Frannie Langton es una sirvienta mulata y bastarda, de origen jamaicano, que llega a Londres para ser entregada, casi como un regalo exótico, a un renombrado científico y su esposa. El asesinato del matrimonio, del cual es acusada la criada, es todo un escándalo: los periódicos la retratan como un monstruo, a pesar de que ella no recuerda nada de la noche en que ocurrieron las muertes. Será su abogado quien le pida que narre su vida, ya que en ese relato reside la única posibilidad de salvarse de la horca. ¿Está Frannie a tiempo contar su historia? ¿Es o no una asesina?

As morning dawns in a sleepy Colorado suburb, a dusting of snow covers high-school freshman Lucinda Hayes's dead body on a playground carousel. Accusations spread quickly and Lucinda's tragic death draws three outsiders from the shadows. Oddball Cameron Whitley loved - still loves - Lucinda. Though they've hardly ever spoken, and any sensible onlooker would call him Lucinda's stalker, Cameron is convinced that he knows her better than anyone. Completely untethered by the news of her death, Cameron's erratic behaviour provides the town ample reason to suspect that he's the killer. Jade Dixon-Burns hates Lucinda. Lucinda took everything from her. The worst part was Lucinda's blissful ignorance to the damage she'd wrought. Officer Russ Fletcher doesn't know Lucinda, but he knows the kid everyone is talking about, the boy who may have killed her. Cameron Whitley is his ex-partner's son. Now Russ must take a painful journey through the past to solve Lucinda's murder and keep a promise he made long ago.
